CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—The wheat market
was steadied today by the Liverpool ad
vance and the firmness of provisions, Miy
closing \WV*u over yesterday. Corn (lbs
ed i.ic up, and oats unchanged. Final fig
ures in provisions were 10@12%C up.
Liverpool administered a snub to the
local wheat market today, sh wlrg ;.n ad
vance, although there was a loss here
yesterday. Not further to offend her best
customer, first pi ices in the pit here were
a shade over yesterday's close, May at
67-V«67V- The market was ;iot a broad
one and fluctuations were narrow the
greater part of the time. There was a
fair demand early, and as offerings were
not large, the market rallied to 68%568%c.
On selling again s! calls this was lost, May
receding to 67%@67%c. The strength of
provisions had a steadying effect. The
strength of corn was also an influence.
Excepting some activity at the open-
Ing the session was dull. There was no
Improvement in the cash demand, nor the
demand for export. Cash bids were up
lie, but business which otherwiss might
have been done was shut off by a lack of
curs. Shoits covered rear the end cf the
session, probably influenced as much as
anything by uneasiness over the South
African situation. May closed firm, Vs rVic
over yesterday, at 68c.
New York reported ten loads taken for
export. Seaboard clearances in wheat and
flour were eaual to 3fi»,000 bushels. Pri
mary receipts were 454,000 bushels, agai st
G4B,OC<) last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 411. cars, compared with S4O cars
last week, and 412 a year ago. Local re
ceipts were twenty-four cars, none of
which graded, contract.
Corn was firm, and though generally
dull, showed fl little more activity than
has been the rue recently. Support came
from the strength of provisions and"the
small country offering?, which Influenced
most of the buying. Tue elsvators report
ed it almost impotsb'e to make purchases
West at present figures. Receipts here,
472 cais. The shipping demand was sow.
May ranged from 33@33%c to L j3:irC. clos
ing %c over yesterday at 33*4@31%c.
Oats were firm, in sympathy with corn
and provisions. The spe til itive trade was
light, New York being tlie best buyer.
Export bids were Uc up, but between the
rail rates and the car scarcity, litile busi
ness was accomplished. Local receipts,
ISI cars. May sold from 237»@24c to 2A&
24%e, closing unchanged from yesterday
at 24c.
Provisions were strong and active the
greater part of the se-s'on, prices again
touching the high mark established last
week. Interests which sold out in the
hope of a greater break joined with
shorts in buying. There was also a gjod
outi-lcle demand. The strength was ba;e.l
on hog receipts under expectations and
better prices at the yards, and cogn'zance
of the fact that deliveries on January
contracts are still very small. May op
tion closed: Pork, $10.fif>; lard. 12^0 up
at ?6.02%@6.00; ribs. 10c up at 55.80.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Today's stock
market was characterized by considerable
speculative activity on the part of the
bear contingent. The raid, however, was
restricted to a small number of stocks,
all of them in the list of what are called
specialties, including the New York city
public utilities and the older high-priced
industrials. There was positive demorali
zation In these active stocks, in contrast
to the fairly firm undertone of the gen
eral list and especially the railroads.
The occasion of the attack upon the in
dustrials was, of course, yesterday's ut
terances by the president of the American
Sugar Refining company. The friends of
other stocks in the Industrial list made
strenuous efforts to differentiate their
movement from that of Sugar and mark
ed them up briskly at the opening, in
face of the violent break in the price of
the stock named, but the bears met this
maneuver with selling in such volume
and with such confidence that one after
another of the specialties crumbled in
price and fell through a storm of dis
lodged stop-loss orders.
Even the railroad list was affected at
last, and the earlier gains in that depart
ment were generally wiped out. The only
prominent railroad stock in which the net
declines reached a point were Baltimore
& Ohio, Burlington, Missouri Pacific,
Pennsylvania and Delaware & Hudson.
Laekawanna declined 2 points. The rally
before the close reduced all net declines
in the railroads to fractional limits and
registered fractional gains in some cases.
The course of Sugar was extremely er
ratic and feverish all day. At the low
level It was over 8 points below last night
and 2^4 below the low level In the De
cember panic. Its net loss is 6. All of
the New York traction and lighting
shares were severe sufferers, Metropoli
tan showing an extreme decline of 9Vi,
Brooklyn Transit 6 and' Third Avenue 6M>.
The gas stocks, Manhattan, People's Gas,
Tobacco, Federal Steel, Sugar preferred
and Pennsylvania Coal were off 314 to 5.
The borrowing demand for Sugar sent it
to a premium in the loan crowd before
the close. A large preponderance of the
total dealings was made up by this group
of specialties. At no level of prices was
there any activity in railroad stocks.
The strength In foreign markets on the
reduction in the official discount rates of
the Bank of England and the Bank of
France was reflected to this market, and
foreign arbitrage brokers were good buy
ers until prices rose above parity. Com
mission houses continued practically idle,
and there was no disposition to speculate
in railroads. The reaction in prices was
sympathetic. The London buying was in
sufficient volume to cause notable heavi
ness in the sterling exchange where the
demand for bills was very light. The New j
York banks are receiving large remit
tances from the interior, as well as from
the subtreasury, and rates on all classes
of loans were notably easier.
The bond market was dull, but held
firm throughout. Total sales, par value,
$1,205,000. United States old 4s, coupon,
declined %; 3s, registered, %, and 3s,

WALL STREET GOSSIP—New York
stock gossip, reported by H. Holbert &
Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Robert
street, National German-American Bank
building, St. Paul—Strong, Sturgis & Co
wire us: "The weakness in Sugar seems
to have paved the way for a more general
bear attack and a sharp decline has been
effected in the leading traction stocks and
some of the more fancy shares. We re
gard this decline as engineered by local
Interests mainly and we don't think that I
It is in any way warranted by outside
conditions. The rale has been reduced by
the Bank of England and money on the
continent bids fair to become rriore nor
mal. At all events, at the present reac
tion from the high prices of last week, we
see manipulation more than any thing
else. We feel that one good success to
the English forces would turn the tide
of speculation to a bull market. By this
we don't mean a. wild or excited state of
affairs but merely a hardening of quota
tions based on good buying. We are not
disposed to carry stocks into next sum
mer, but we do feel that between now
and March we must have better quota
tions."
Bartlett, Frazier & Co., Chicago, tele
graphed the following to Edwards &
Bedell, stock brokers and commission
merchants, 110 Endicott Arcade, St. Paul,
Minn.—Morse: "There is a general ad
vance In London today of about a half
point. Tt is due entirely to the reduction
in the Bank of England rate of discount to
5 per cent. London will buy a little stock
here as money is getting much easier on
the other side. The question now is
whether buying or the unsettlement
caused by the Sugar action will be of
most importance. People in the Sugar
trade expect the stock to pr> below par. 1;
it does it will drag down the entire indus
trial list. In the absence of foreign news
the market is one for great conservatism
and looks to be like a sale on the rallies."
Morse: "The people who sold Sugar
last night promise a raid on Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. There is an order to
cover a line of Sugar at 114%." Hudson:
"Sugar may. I think, have some tittle
rallies, but think it will gradually work
to par." Bartlett, Frazier & Co.": "Mr.
J. W. Gates declares that he intends re
signing from the board of directors of the
A. S. W. company and states that it
would be found feasible to declare a
dividend on the common stock when the
board meets Jan. 22."——Davis: "There is
good inside buying of Southern Pacific.
I favor buying all <mod railroads whilo
prices are down. There is no news on
Sugar, but very prominent houses have
been selling. Personally it looks cheap
with nil their assets; besides, when things
look the worst is the time to buy."
FOREIGN FINANCIAL—New York.
Jan. 11.—The Commercial Advertiser's
London financial cablegram says: "Stocks
were still stagnant here today, but the
tone was firm. The action of the Bank
of England in reducing its minimum dis
count rate to 5 per cent, and the sequel
of the reduction of the French rate to 4
per cent, encouraged some continental
buying of Tinto? and Spanish fours, but
neither London nor Berlin showing any
revival of, speculation. Americans were
neglectad, excerjt for Baltimore & Ohio
securities, which were bought on the en
couraging earnings statements."

Cattle receipts were light and the mar
ket a little slow, owing to quality and the
limited amount of stuff to pick from.
Prices were fully steady on all kinds of
stock stuff and a few choice yearlings
and feeders sold strong. Heifer calves
were higher and good steer calves firm.
Best butcher cattle sold steady with
hardly anything in. Fair to good butcher
cattle, barely steady. Veal calves are
higher.

MIDWAY HORSE MARKET—Minneso
ta Transfer, St. Paul—Barrett & Zimmer
man's report: The demand for heavy
logging horses was of a brisk character
today. Several logging men from
Northern Minnesota and from Wisconsin
were on the market and eager In buying
first class logging horses. Trade on farm
stuff was active and is on a steady In
crease. Receipts of horses were not as
large today as expected, causing several
orders unfilled. The hardship In buying
available horses in the country is plainly
apparent and an extreme effort is made
by the market to furnish supplies to
meet the demand. Quotations:

BRIBERY IS AILEGED. >
Four Member* of Omaha Board of
Education Arrested.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 11.— Four members
of Die board of education were arrfsted
today on warrants charging them with
accepting a bribe. They are A. M. Cowie,
G. G. Irey, George H. Hess and Frank
A. Sears. The casa grows out of the let
ting of a contract for Venetian blh.ds for
several new school buildings erect-d last
year. The evidence on which tli^ charge
was made was furnish d by Charles Ciiin-
QHi, the representative of the Bdsiwlck &
Bums company, of Ohio. He m:id- affi
davit lo paying all the accused, except
Cowie, certain sums for their influence,
and turned over to the authorities tha
checks with which the sums were paid,
showing the Indorsements cf the a?cure3,
which were made when the che. ks wer«
cashed. Cowie, he alleges, demanded
money, but wanted more than he was
willing to pay.
Investigations are being made in con
nection with other large contract?, but ni
arrests have yet been made. The amounts
involved in this case are comparatively
small, but they are being vigo.-ou-l push
ed, as it is the general opinion that crook
edness has been going on for sorr.e time
but this is the only case In which any
conclusive evidence has been secured.
MILES WILL CONTEST. !
Fortune of «:t.( ,O(io In InrolTCd
In the Controversy.
FALLS CITY, Neb., Jan. 11.-Much in
terest is being evinced in the suit just
brought to set aside the will of the late
"Col." Stephen D. Miles, a pioneer Ne
braskan, and an old-time government
mail contractor. An estate valued at
$3,0C0,0C0 is involved. Samuel Miles, one of
the sons of the deceased, asks the court
to set aside the judgment rendered when
hie father's will was probated, because
he believes he has evidence to prove that
a later will was made, giving him a largo
share of the property, which his brother,
Joseph 11. Miles, obtained under the for
mer will. His petition implied that Jo
seph knows of the more recent will, which
is alleged to have been drawn up In UL'7,
at the St. James hotel, in St. Louis, :.n>t
has either destroyed or la suppressing it.
Joseph Miles denies the charges and aaka
the court to let the probated will, which
makes him principal legatee, stand.
After much argument a motion of the
plaintiff for a continuance was over
ruled. This started a fierce wrangle be
tween the opposing lawyers that resulted
in Judge Charles Gillespie and Judgo
Isham Reavis being fined $25 each for
contempt of court.
Judge Stall was then sworn off tho
bench, and Judge Thompson, of brand
Island, was called.
I. J. Ringolsky, of Kansas City, who U
leading counsel for Samuel .Miles, will, it
Is asserted, produce some sensational evi
dence in substantiation of his client's
claims. The time today was consumed in
arguments as to the admissibility of some
of this testimony.
